Thanks Beanie, Jwil, Blackcats, TG and Lucielle
Relative has already lived longer than docs suggested and is still able to get around so that is a blessing.
Had a lovely time with DS and his partner. Saw a woodpecker up close from a bird hide. I have heard them before but not sure if I have ever seen them close enough to see their colours. They had a few wooden sculptures too...
